Summary
Running your blood work every 6-12 months should be mandatory in order to "catch" serious health issues quickly...
The problem is that not all MDs or PCPs will run all the lab tests you should be looking at...
For example, most MDs will run your cholesterol, but they overlook homocysteine and CRP, which when all elevated can spell serious trouble for inflammatory heart disease...
Of course, all of these dis-eases are correctable, but you do need to know what you're dealing with in the first place...
So, on today's #CabralConcept 767 I want to share with you what to ask for (and why) when running your annual blood work - Enjoy the show!

| 0:49.1 | Thank you so much for joining me today |
| 0:51.0 | on our Total Wellness Tuesday show. We're going over what to ask for |
| 0:56.2 | and why when running your annual blood work review. So this is a really a big confusing point for a lot of people that I see in my practice and I just know questions in general that come in. |
| 1:09.0 | They don't know what to ask their PCP for or even run themselves when looking at blood work because a lot of the blood work I see that comes in |
| 1:16.4 | It's just missing critical numbers like a lot of people are just missing just they just have big holes in looking at their overall health because |
| 1:25.2 | they're not running the right numbers and it's just your health insurance should |
| 1:28.9 | be able to cover most of these things and for the most, you really have to check to see even |
| 1:34.7 | Vitamin D's covered anymore, any of these things. I've just decided to run it on my |
| 1:38.3 | own because the truth is that a lot of times the co-pay is as much as just running it on your own, but I'll let that be your decision if you have a really good PCP that's able to sign off on all of these things, then more power to you.
